A PIECE OF FUTURE
Setting the Atmosphere
I have always been compelled by Akira’s landscape. There is dark erieness of this futuristic city which has now turned to rubble.
The landcape represents a mentality of a cyberpunk nature. This nation is run by the militarty, casuing riots and violence all over the city. It creates a world of fear, where one can gain the power of others by using brute force.
Studying this film, I also noticed the power of a group. Taking a look at Kaneda’s biker gang, I liked the boldness that each character had. They were all cocky highschoolers who thought thy were tough. That “don’t mess with me attitude” I wanted to be portayed in the story that I was creating.
